Tarocchino di Bologna (Giuseppe Maria Mitelli 1660): Seven of Wands

Wands are also referred to as Staves, Staffs, or Batons. They correspond to the playing card suit of Clubs, and many early tarot decks depict this suit as wooden clubs. This suit represents the element Fire, and the social class of Peasantry. Wands are considered a Masculine suit. Wands typically represent creative or entrepreneurial projects, information, travel, and will - whether it be free will, or strength of willpower.

Usually this card carries the meaning of striving to maintain or fighting over one's position, making a strong effort to keep something which is important. The Seven of Wands is a card that means a testing time calling for courage and tenacity for long-term success.

Reversed Meaning:Giving up. Overwhelmed. Overly protective.

Reversed, this card could be interpreted as feeling vulnerable, insecure, tired, and giving up, feeling hopeless and often with feelings of guilt.
